yesterday was his birthday....the man who used to make me smile with no reasons at all....the man who gave me the sweetest smile i've ever seen....tha man who used to be my life...

just sad that i can't even greet him on his special day.....so i just whispered my birthday wides for hin through Our God Almighty....that his wishes be granted and that may He guide him through his journey...that may He give him enough strength to face all the challenges he will be going through...

kahit di mo to mabasa...i am wishing you all the best taht you deserve..

the more i wanted to move on..is the more i find it hard to get through.......

i long to see your face again....to look into your eyes and see.......the love that is meant for me.......

i've been pretending i am ok......because i want to hide from the feeling.......instead i find myself in tears and in deep pain....

i feel so alone and lonely............

and emptiness lingers in my heart........i know our hearts still wanted to hold on.........to the love we have......

i dont know how and i dont know when.....or if this will ever end..........

letting you go is too painful for me........i know you're hurt too and i can see it.............in your eyes............

i did'nt want this to end..........someday hapiness will find its way to our hearts..........when all that our heart could wish for will be given in God's perfect time..........i still think of you as often as i breathe..........thank you for the gift of love..........

i treasure you in my heart........and there you will be kept.........where nobody can ever replace you........

*this poem is not originally mine...i was just the editor!!eheheh...this is a poem gave to me by my first love....the guy who hurt me the most but i know he loved me the most....

Desperate Housewives' Teri Hatcher SLURS FilipinosPosted by RoMa on Oct 2, '07 4:55 AM for everyoneIn the Premiere of Desperate Housewives Teri Hatcher made a remark about Filipinos - doctors/nurses. She was talking to her doctor and then she said "Okay, before we go any further, can I check those diplomas? 'Coz I would just like to make sure they are not from some med school in the Philippines."------Dear Kababayan and Allies:I heard through the grapevine about a remark made on an episode of "Desperate Housewives" last night. The scene entailed Teri Hatcher's character (Susan) at a hospital, being told by her gynecologist that she might be hitting menopause. Susan replied, "Can I just check those diplomas because I just want to make sure that they are not from some med school in the Philippines." If you go to abc.com, you watch the full episode and witness the scene at about 18:50 minutes into the episode.This type of derogatory remark is not only unnecessary and hurtful, but is also unfounded, considering the presence of Filipinos and Filipino Americans in the health care industry. Filipinos are the second largest immigrant population in the United States, with many entering the U.S. and passing their U.S. licensing boards as doctors, nurses, and medical technicians. In fact, the Philippines produces more U.S. nurses than any other country in the world. So, to belittle the education, experience, or value of Filipino Americans in health care is disrespectful and plain and simply ignorant.As Filipino Americans, we need to band together to ensure that this type of hateful message is not allowed to continue on our television and radio airwaves. Given the recent amounts of media attention that has been given to Michael Richards (against African Americans), Isaiah Washington (against gays), and Rosie O'Donnell (against Asian/ Chinese Americans), it is ridiculous that this type of hateful speech made it through various screenwriters, the show's producers, the show's actors, and ABC itself. Yet, this isn't the first time that negative remarks have been made about the Philippines or Filipinos in the past. In recent years, we've heard one too many "dogeater" comments by "comedian" Joan Rivers on the red carpet or in her standup act, and I believe that it is about time that we stand up for ourselves, so that this type of hateful speech never happens again.Please join me in expressing your concern, disappointment, and/or disgust to the producers of ABC.com. You can sign the petition at http://www.petitiononline.com/FilABC/ or you can reach them directly at abc7@abc.com.And please feel free to forward this widely to other Filipinos/Filipino Americans/ Asian Americans/ and other allies.Sincerely,Kevin Nadal,Filipino Performance Artist/ Activistknadal@gmail.com

first day of October, twas rainy monday..i was reading John Grisham's THE CLIENT but i can't concentrate on waht i was reading. there are lots of memoirs that kept ringing on my mind. i turned on the television set and just kept on switching channels..still those memories keep on coming...i grabbed my pen and paper and jot down everything in my mind.

October, the second BER months and the real start of low temperature. time for school breaks and have some fun..

'twas October last year when the super typhoon MILENYO hit the country. left thousands homeless due to the heavy rain that caused landslides in the BICOL REGION, VISAYAS, METRO MANILA, TAGALOG REGIONS and some part in NORTHERN LUZON. Cavite was one of the worst hit by the typhoon that the administrator cancelled classes in all scholl levels including the prestigious police academy in that place..'twas October last year when i had this memorable moment spent with my "one-and-only" back then. the moment i was the happiest despite the strong typhoon.

'twas also the same month when we broke up and brought me to tears..but it was also that time when i met this someone, a very special friend that brightens up my day... a man who brought me up from deep shallow...from the world of blue...the man behind all the smiles despite all the hurts and pains caused by intrigues and insults and nasty rumors about me by the an org i was once belong to.. the man who taught me to be strong and to believe in myself..

'twas also the same month when my pretty boss ajah landed a job as EDI SUPPORT at GXS in Makati...;twas October last year when Lalaine ran away from us with a cash and some 2nd hand mobile units costing around 60,000 pesos..and it was October last year when ajah lost her first love..her boyfriend for 2years..

in a month's time many died..many cried..we've lost a lot..i think jinx came in the way on OCTOBER 2006..

i hope and pray that what happened October last year won't happen again...

September 24, 8pm, rainy and on a jeepney bound for Lagro loob along Sto. Domingo Church, Quezon Avenue, when a young policeman ctopped the jeep i am in and got the driver's liscense. the offense? "WRONG ROUTE.." "Lagro-Delta ka lang ha?Bakit andito ka na?Sto. Domingo pa lang to, punong puno ka pa.Akin lisensya mo, the cop said. the driver tried to explain that his route is Quiapo-Lagro and showed the cop his permit. but the cop insisted to get the liscense of the driver. the driver then asked for an apology to us, (his passengers), then he got out of the jeep to talk to the cops who parked their mobile a hundred meter away from us. then in a quarter minute the driver came back scratching his nape, "Lecheng mga pulis mga yan o, tingin ko sa kanila mga demonyo na e. sinabi namang Quiapo-Lagro ang ruta ko, pinakita ko na nga ang permit ko ayaw pa ring amniwala. binibigyan ko ng 200 ayaw kunin.binigyan ko ng 400 kinuha.leche, 150 lang ung dapat multa ko dun e. buti pa mmda pangkape lang ok na", the driver remarked as he got up the jeep.i lerned from the driver that earlier that day couple of policemen "hold-up" (drivers refers to call the cops as holdupper) him again for 300pesos in an offense he doesn't know.

it's sad..really sad..knowing that the cop is from the prestigious academy..i saw the bullring wearing around his middle finger..i saw it when he got the driver's liscense...i was seating beside the driver...the young cop is good looking...and a fafalicious!!!hehehe.
